I have seen it take over 2 minutes to initialize a system with over 12TB of RAM. In order to work around the issue I had to disable CONFIG_DEBUG_VM and then the boot time returned to something much more reasonable as the arch_add_memory call completed in milliseconds versus seconds. However in doing that I had to disable all of the other VM debugging on the system. In order to work around a kernel that might have CONFIG_DEBUG_VM enabled on a system that has a large amount of memory I have added a new kernel parameter named "vm_debug" that can be set to "-" in order to disable it.
